Vega Sport Vegan Protein Powder + Recovery - 30g Plant Based Protein per Serving, Vanilla, 20 Servings, 5g BCAAs, Probiotics, NSF Certified, For Shakes & Smoothies, 1.8lbs (Packaging May Vary)

I'm trying to limit my animal products to Greek plain yogurt and salmon in order to reduce my cholesterol. I mixed this vegan protein powder with Greek yogurt and buckwheat groats, added plain soy milk to get a good consistency and added berries and chia seeds. The taste and texture are both excellent. I'm getting 30 grams of protein from the vegan powder alone, which is 5 more grams than most whey proteins I've used in the past. I will continue using this as I try to lose weight, gain muscle, and reduce my cholesterol.

I bought Vega Sport Protein Powder after doing some research about vegan protein powders and then purchasing a Vega Sport sample pack that included a berry, vanilla, and chocolate protein sample (among other things). I started with the vanilla thinking this would be the easiest flavor to incorporate into my routine which consists of a veggie/fruit smoothie for breakfast and sometimes a pre or post workout smoothie. I am not a big fan of the vanilla in my breakfast smoothie, but it's not too bad in the one I make with bananas and/or sweet potatoes, almond milk, and peanut butter powder. I think the vanilla leaves a bit of a noticeable after taste and seems to sweet in an artificial way (I can't think of a better way to describe it). That being said, I really like the chocolate in the aforementioned smoothie. It complements the peanut butter powder really well and I don't have the after taste issue I have with the vanilla. I was somewhat surprised to find that I love the berry flavored powder. Now I miss it when I make a smoothie without it. I think it helps smooth out the texture a bit (I mix my breakfast fruit/veggie smoothie with non-sweet green tea that I brew). I ran out and used some of the Vega Protein & Greens berry flavored powder (which was available at Target when I ran out while out of town). I definitely prefer the Vega Sport. I do always cut my portions in half so it's nice that the big container comes with a scoop that measures out a half portion. Adding some protein to my breakfast smoothie has helped me not be hungry before lunch. I'm a terrible morning eater, I'm just not usually hungry first thing, so having a liquid breakfast is very convenient.I'm also not an athlete per se. I chose the Vega Sport over some of the other Vega options because I have arthritis in my hip and the Vega Sport contains a number of ingredients that help with inflammation (turmeric and tart cherry are two of these) and the lack of animal proteins is beneficial too since I'm just not ready to go full vegetarian in my daily life but I am trying to limit things that can trigger my inflammation when I can. As part of my anti-inflammation eating, exercising, and weight maintenance program, Vega Sport has really been helping me. It tastes good and seems to work. I haven't been using the Vega Sport as much as a post-workout protein option as it is probably intended, but I do still think I'm getting some performance benefits from it (I use some other Vega Sport products as well).

Definitely a vegetable protei. I’m not a fan of the gritty texture. The flavor is good, and it is filling. But it’s very gritty.

I found this product by searching for protein powder sweetened with stevia. I won't touch most of the sweetners used in sugar free products with a ten foot pole for various reasons. That limits my options. Wanting a protein that is also dairy and soy free limits them further.Before I found this, I was using my husband's whey protein powder and doing my level best not to look at the ingredients. I've also used a pea protein that was sweetened with xylitol. Those are the only two things I have to compare this to.I don't find this to be grainy or chalky at all, which I know is a common complaint for plant based proteins. I was nervous, but pleasantly surprised. It can get very thick, think like an actual milk shake. At first, I didn't care for that so I watered it down. It grew on me though.Other reviews say that this powder is too sweet. That wasn't a problem for me. In fact, I wouldn't mind it a bit sweeter. Nor did I notice a stevia aftertaste. Stevia is the only sweetner I ever use though, so I might be used to it. As to the taste, it's not bad at all. Not vanilla ice cream by any means, but I don't have to plug my nose and choke it down.Maybe I'm imagining things, but I think I taste a hint of the tart cherry mentioned on the label. I actually look forward to my post-workout shake now and can't wait to try the chocolate.
